This study aims to find the constraints of the educational and professional aspirations of students from state and private schools in Porto Alegre, using low self - efficacy as an intermediary for the adaptation of their preferences. Personal desire can be determinant for happiness. The greatest aspirations can lead the individual to a frustration of future expectations which motivate aspirational level reduction. Students are often induced to feel more - or less - effective in their academic and professional abilities, this psychological aspect is decisive for shaping their aspirations. Information was collected through a questionnaire applied to 3,723 students (sample of 3,714) from 32 state and private schools in Porto Alegre, including questions related to their educational and professional preferences, as well as to the family and the socioeconomic profile of the students. Probit models were estimated for the aspirations and for sample cutouts in teaching stages, administrative dependence and socioeconomic criteria. Evidences for adapting preferences were found. Those who suffer the most deprivation have a lower chance of aspiring to higher levels, and the lack of academic self-efficacy has proved to be a barrier to desires of more education and higher occupational status. The results also indicated to high marginal effects for the valorization of education to get the job they want and feel able to enter in a college, which suggests that they are good public policy targets for the release of adapted preferences.
